This project focuses on the detection of Myocardial infarction (heart attack) using machine learning techniques. We leverage the PTB diagnostic database, a widely used dataset in the field of cardiology.Myocardial infarction, a critical medical condition, requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Machine learning algorithms offer the potential to aid healthcare professionals in accurately identifying myocardial infarction cases from electrocardiogram (ECG) data.

Dataset taken from Kaggle - https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/shayanfazeli/heartbeat

Added labels, normalized the data, handled class imbalance.

Reduced feature size using PCA.

KNN , Random forest , SVM

Training machine learning models, including but not limited to, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest, and K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), on the extracted features.

Evaluated the performance of trained models using metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC).
